To apply the formatting to a single selection of text or a single object, on the Standard toolbar, click the Format Painter button , and then select the text or object to which you want to apply the formatting.

To apply the formatting to multiple selections of text or objects, on the Standard toolbar, double-click the Format Painter button , and then select the text or objects to which you want to apply the formatting in succession. Click the Format Painter button when you are done.
